Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Secondigny

In a rural commune such as Secondigny, 1,765 residents at the heart of the CC de Parthenay-Gâtine, rapid access to a defibrillator matters twice as much: emergency services sometimes come from Parthenay, 14 km away, or even Niort, 32 km away. Our technicians, based at 2 Rue du Stade, Porte H, support town halls, businesses and local associations with the sale, hire, installation and maintenance of DAE defibrillators (AEDs).

Available services:

• Defibrillator sales and rental
• Installation and commissioning
• Preventive and corrective maintenance
• Usage training (Workplace First Aid)

AED regulations in Secondigny

In the Gâtine area, our teams see it on their rounds: the regulations apply to small communes just as they do to large ones. French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a DAE since 2020-2021, and some category 5 ERP are also covered depending on their activity. Secondigny has 8 defibrillators registered on the national GéoDAE database; we check with every facility manager in the 79130 area that their devices are properly listed.

Installing an AED in Secondigny

When siting a DAE in Secondigny, our fitters favour community hubs everyone can find: the town hall, the village hall, the stadium next to our premises on Rue du Stade, and the shops in the village centre. Installation includes an outdoor-rated cabinet, regulatory signage and registration on GéoDAE. Hire from 50 € excl. VAT/month with maintenance included suits municipal budgets well; purchase remains available.

Maintenance and training in Secondigny

What our technicians often see in communes the size of Secondigny: a DAE installed and then forgotten, for lack of a designated contact. Our preventive maintenance takes over, with scheduled checks and the replacement of electrodes and batteries before they expire. We also train elected officials, staff and volunteers in life-saving skills: every minute without defibrillation costs around 10% of the chances of survival.
